Proton Drive is our secure, private cloud storage and collaborative editing suite, with clients on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Web. One platform is missing: Linux. You will build it from scratch. This is a greenfield project with high visibility inside Proton and across the open-source community — our entire client codebase is published under an open-source license, and this will be the first public example of how to build a native application on top of the Proton Drive SDK.
Maybe the people who complain about it on every thread can apply? 😏
Hah, good call out!
Hasn’t Proton claimed they were actively working on Drive for linux for years now? And this job posting says, “from scratch” WTF?
Yes, they have claimed that.
Best case, this is an admission that their previous attempts were so terrible, that they’re throwing it out and starting from scratch.
More likely they will just say “we were developing the API to simplify the development of a native Linux app”
Have they claimed that? All I can see is that they were looking into options of how to fund it, and then a few months ago they announced the SDK which will be its foundation.
Last I remember they had said over and over that they were not working on it because their only Linux team was focused on Proton VPN, it seemed to be excuse after excuse for years.
No we’ll still complain. I have 6 terabytes of storage on my plan and its all cryogenic storage, I have to use filen or others cause of how bad proton is through the web app and android apps.

I just said I use filen. Proton has a whole suite, I can still subscribe to Proton for the other services and complain about how shitty the experience on Proton Drive is.
So I don’t want to argue against any of that. I even dislike the VPN app for Linux, but you can sync from Proton Drive with RClone
Finally!
